WAHOO!!!

My lone chick is still unpipped. We set at the same time if I remember correctly (and why is it that I can't even remember what I ate for lunch but I can remember that detail?!).

Unfortunately I'm hoping that it doesn't hatch, but of course I'll be head over heels if it does.

Come on little chickie, dissappoint your mama

Good job. Now stop talking to my chick!!

That is great news!

I think I am a day behind you. I see no pips. No nothing. Only about half even made it to the hatcher. Maybe I will get something yet.

I had 3 out of 35 go to lockdown, 1 hatch so far. I'm thinking you're goin' to do better than me.

To recap:
1. My Trader Joe eggs were all duds.
2. The "control" egg that I threw in from my own flock just hatched thanks to Steve's ESP connection with the egg:

3. I now have to go out to snowblow/shovel the 12+ inches we got yesterday
4. Then I have to go on a mission to find this critter a friend to brood with.

Be prepared! Same thing happened to me and I took the seller up on her offer. 9 out of 12 hatched! I'm overrun with these things!

alright... I'm doing good... snow has been removed (mostly, I'm still waiting for the driveway to be plowed out) and I'm meeting a lady for two 4 day old white leghorns in 90 minutes!!

I loooove my white leghorns and am happy to get more!

Now that it's hatched, any idea of its breed or mix?
We have another light covering of snow this morning; oh so grateful that it's nothing like what ya'll got out there!
